St. Luke's celebrated a beautiful baptism on
Father's Day
Welcome to the family!
We promise to surround this child with love,
support, and care, and look forward to seeing
you grow into a faithful disciple of Jesus in the coming years.
Addison Gracie Harrs was baptized at the 10:00 a.m. combined Vacation Bible School worship service in the sanctuary on June 16 - also Father's Day.
It was a special day for Addison, her father Shawn and her two siblings Christian and Lauren.
Correction: We sincerely apologize for the misspelling of the Piggrem sisters' last name in our last edition. We have corrected the error below.
It was a double special day for the Piggrem family on May 12. Both Emmeline Joy and Zoey Savannah Piggrem were baptized at the 9:30 a.m. Contemporary Worship service. In attendance were their parents, Sydney Moeller and Jeff Piggrem.
We appreciate the faithful commitment
St. Lukers make to the church's ministries.

Partnership anniversary this month.
Long-time St. Luker Vita Coudriet passed away on June 6 at the age of 90. Vita is the mother of Andrea Batchelor.
Vita was a good friend to everyone. She had such a generous spirit and exuded warmth and hospitality in all her interactions. Everyone felt at home when they were with Vita!
A memorial service was held at St. Luke's on June 15 in the Sanctuary. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Vita's honor to Seniors First.
Please keep Andrea, her brother Ray, and their extended families in your prayers during this time.

St. Luke's Youth Mission Experiences: Summer Highlights
This summer, Our St. Luke's Youth have truly shined!
Our High School Youth Group had an incredible Advocacy trip to Washington, DC, where they learned about the justice side of mission work. They even met with our local representatives on Capitol Hill to champion legislation on homelessness and affordable housing!
Meanwhile, our Middle Schoolers stayed local and partnered with amazing organizations supporting our unhoused community. They volunteered with big smiles and learned how each group contributes to the same important cause.
We're so proud of their dedication and hard work!
